Re: FreeCAD on the web

From my point of view; The data should not be collected in the first place so using it or to republish is supporting the data gathering. I presume it could be used to get someone fired from their job by logging in during work hours, maybe that's OK because employees should be monitored. That's where...

Re: FreeCAD on the web

IMO, the previous post is unfortunate to see. I am not a fan of anyone logging anything that I do, period.
If you published info about me (without permissions) I would report this as abuse and ask that it be removed. But that's just me....

Thanks developers for all your work.

Re: Merge lattice WB as a tool in PD

I don't think the Workbench approach was totally planned out from day-one but it seems to have traction now. The developers have made it easy to clone a Workbench so if you want Dodo included then create a new PartDesign WB and have at it. My guess is that in 5 years there will be many PartDesign cl...

Re: Workbenches and tools

In writing macros I see that it takes a whole page of code just to figure out the desired selection logic of a Workbench, this is where the Workbench approach is great because it isolates how selections are made depending on the Workbench. Much less chance of errors being added to PartDesign for ins...

Re: Fasteners WB change standard color of parts

If I remember correctly, I copied all the fasteners into a standard FreeCAD file, it took a while. This way I could open the file, do whatever I wanted with each type of fastener. No workbench needed in this usage, just open the file and copy/paste. This way I could be more specific about what faste...

Re: Fasteners workbench - spring washers

by chrisb IIRC it was NormandC - who does professional CAD modeling - who explained that washers are modeled in their assembled state, i.e.: flat. I would say spring washers are special, often times they are used to keep objects tight together and spaced out or apply pressure. Either way I could se...

Re: [Solved]Black screen by starting first document

I just tried to install 19 and 21 and the dev version 0.22.3582 and the HP laptop is black screen. Win 10 Pro

I renamed the dll and no more black screen. I will try a newer version next week.

Thanks for this post, now I have a useful laptop.

Re: Can't make a fillet without affecting tangent edges

You might try selecting an edge and then use a Subtractive Pipe to create a fillet. I have been wanting to experiment more with this concept. Edit: You might also think about using an Additive Pipe to create the rounded edge in the first place and then see if Fillet will give you some additional hel...

Re: Can't make a fillet without affecting tangent edges

Select Fillet and use the tool dialog to select edges one at at a time. It might not work as planned.

Re: Dev issue, single Pad does not show error as it used to

Not in a good place to do it right now, will do it next week. I probably need the time to think about how this issue works with the option "View Section".
Thanks
